Guitar Chords and Strumming for Beginners

Learn to Strum Chords on Guitar for a Lifetime of Fun!

Strumming chords is the first thing that many people learn to play on guitar.  Let's face it, if you can strum chords, you can accompany songs, jam with others, play at parties, or perhaps play around the campfire. 

If you or anyone else can sing, strumming chords adds two important things:

1. Harmony  - (the chords) mostly associated with the left hand.

2. Rhythm - usually the right hand does the strumming.

How Does "Guitar Chords and Strumming for Beginners" Work?

It teaches you how to change chords smoothly and efficiently with the left hand (fretting hand). Meanwhile, as you hold down and change chords you learn to strum and keep time with the right hand.

   Then... just as important, you'll practice the most efficient way to change chords. 

        Important!!! You must develop this step so that you can make fast effortless chord changes when required.

   Next... you learn right hand rhythm techniques using the chord shapes that you are now comfortable with.

   Finally... combining the whole process you expand your rhythm playing skills.
